If you’re reading this, it’s likely you’re aware of THE SACRAMENT, the latest from THE HOUSE OF THE DEVIL and THE INNKEEPERS writer/director Ti West, which has been traveling the festival circuit for nearly a year now. It has just become available on VOD and hits theaters June 6 from Magnet Releasing, and we’ve got a chat with one of its stars.

Over a long, humid weekend, the fourth edition of the H.P. convention known as the NecronomiCon Providence welcomed hundreds of guests, some which came from such far away places as the U.K., California, Toronto, and Abu Dhabi. Organized by the Lovecraft Arts & Sciences Council with support from the City of Providence and Dark Dunes Productions, the event spanned four days, two hotels, two theaters, the Providence Athenaeum, two art galleries, a restaurant, a rock club, and not one, but two hotels. The conference itself boasted several panels, gaming events, walking tours, dozens of vendors, a concert, Cthulu prayer breakfast, gala, and special WaterFire event—a celebratory Providence phenomenon consisting of over 80 permanent bonfires rising from the river—with live music, and lots of monstrous cosplay.
